What to expect when upgrading to IIS 6.0

Hi,

Can any one point me to a good resource on what to expect for .NET
Applications when upgrading from IIS 5.0 to IIS 6.0

We are thinking to move to IIS 6.0 but fear......

Thanks,

Fear not...

You'll get more features, security and performance.
You'll also get many more administration options.

Here's a good summary of IIS 6.0's new features :

And here :

is IIS 6.0's Technical Overview

I have a couple areas to watch in regards to ASP.NET applications:

That's what the link I provided earlier tries to help with. Most of
the problems people see are because of changes in the worker process
model. The wp in IIS 6 runs under a different account, has different
configuration defaults, and is configured using a different
configuration section.

re:

Why didn't you say so ?

:-)

Question for you :

Why would you think *anything* would break, at the IIS level,
when you migrate from IIS 5.0 to IIS 6.0 ?

I can think about any number of things which could break
when upgrading a .Net Framework, for example, but I can't
think of even one thing which IIS could break in an application.

Can you give me an example of what you fear might break ?

Thanks Scott, I did go through the document and have noted the issues you
mentioned and hopefully would be a smooth transition :)

As Scott Mentioned the change in name of ASP.NET account could break an
application which is trying to access files and folders on other machines,
because of permissions etc.

Yup...but that an *ASP.NET* feature, not an IIS feature.

It was *ASP.NET* which changed it's identity. Not IIS.

Nothing changed in IIS. What changed is within ASP.NET.
I just can't think oif anything which would break at the IIS level.

When a new Application is created in IIS 6.0, all the configuration
properties have default values which won't break anything in
*any* existing ASP.NET application.

*You* ( meaning any IIS user ) can screw them up,
by changing them to non-default values, but IIS won't.
